"Well. / scarcely caro- 10 commit myself on
that point, was the reply "The fact Is that
tine beauties OF California and Oregon hard
woods are but little known, and il is only
fow who have studied the subject who are
aware OF the undeveloped industry existing

last mechanics fair there was an excellent
exhibition Of California fancy woods, which
surprised everybody. 1t was not supposed
that our forests were so rich in such desirable
Rrowths. As for the Oregon woods, ] think
the aso is very pretty. lt Is figured with
concentric curves and admits % very high
polish. The Oregon maple Is the most beau
tiful wood | have ever seen, | think. It's
color Is light yellow and its surface is
covered with small, wavy lines. which look
like snownakes. IL reminds one much of a
sheet Of FURNISHED gold, and when the gas
light plays upon its FURNISHED surface the ef-
feet Is grand. Like most of our woods, how
ever, il Is but little known. Tho OREGON ma
pie Is also a pretty wood. Its surface is COW
cred with small parallel lines, close together"

WOODS" interposed the reporter.
We'll, take the laurel" was the replv
California laurel is figured beautifully. but,
unfortunately for 1t. IL has been confounded
with pepperwoOd and myrtle which are softer
woods and rot quicker Our sycamore, which
has only recently become known as q fancy
wood, IS also very prettily figured. It's grain
Is like that Of the beech. and has something like
waving vertical lines close together. Why,
before Its qualities as a fancy wood were
known, it was used for the manufacture Of
tobacco boxes. In New York it is called but
tonwood. Sycamore Is very strong, and can
be used advantogeously for veneering Red
wood is also a handsome wood for interiors.
Ii admits of very high polish, and for a
cheap wood is probably one of the best in tho
market. The best figures on redwood are
generally found in the burls or large knots
But few figures are found in tho body Of a
redwood. Laurel is also good hard wood
A curious fact about laurel is that the tree
looks as if great tree had grown and then
melted down and another tree had grown
from the residue of the first This curious
growth makes a large ground burl, from
the center Of which the tree grows. splen-

Furnishing Crime in Germany.

In Germany the law breaker has a
hard time. What would be regarded
as a small offence in this country is
there punished promptly and severely,
An %ex-consul is reported as saying:
ITO illustrate the stringenoy of the
criminal laws IN Germany, it is made q
penal offense in that country to strike
a man who wears spectacles or eye
glasses. A case IN point occurred not
long ago, in which an American of
wealth and excellent social position in
our country became involved in q trif-
ing dispute with a German in one of
their beer gardens. In the course of
the alteration he, for the moment,
lost his temper and struck the man,
who wore glasses. He was not aware
of the extent of the otfense which he
had committed, but he was at once
placed under arrest, and was informed
of the nature Of the law. He at once
did all in his power to right the wrong
which he had done and avoid the penal
ty. He caused the mans eyes to be
examined by of the most celebrated
oculists in Germany, who pronounced
them in good condition, He also pre-
sented the man with Il large sum Of
money, about $500 with which to go
Into business. All this was of no
avail, however, as the machinery of
the law, once set in operation, contin:
ued it's work. and the American was
condemned to serve two years in the
p~enitentiary. The American consul at
once began efforts for the. release of
the man, but it was not until he had
served eight months of his sentence
that the influence of the consul with
the Emperor prevailed, and the man
was pardoned. This will illustrate the
severity of the laws for the punishment
of crime in Europe. If the states Of
the union would adopt similar meas
ures with criminals the statistics Of
crime would tell a different story from
that told to-day" ar ss...n =,

The Pirate Hada Good Heart.

James T. Flint, a citizen of Alex
andria, Va, relates this anecdote of
Laftte, the pirate of the Gulf. The
story was told him by his grandmother;
Mrs Martha MARITIME of Nashville, Tenn.
Mr.. Martin settled in the lower part
of this State about the year 1910.
Beingthe wner of the Porter plantation
OF the Teche, and planting largely Of
cane, he needed of course, supplies,
and particularly salt and iron, which
articles were scarce and hard to get
at the time, owing to the war with
England in 1925. He knew the
desired articles could be obtained from
Laftte, and after some searching
found him at his rendezvous, on one
of the little islands off the coast Of this
State.
MIR. Martin, after securing all he
wanted, started for home with his boat
well loaded, but in the storm the next
day all on board, including the largo,
were lost, except Mr.. Martin, who was
cast upon an island. While on this
lonely island he was found by Laftte q
few days after the accident.
Laftte's timely arrival saved his life,
and after hearing the cause of Mr.. Mar
tins misfortune returned to his rendez-
;vous, taking him with him; and after
. stay of several days together he load
ed another boat with a duplicate cargo
for MIR. Martin, and saw him safely
landed on shore, and all. too, without
charge. Sometime after this Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin wero returning on . visit
to their homo at Nashville, before the
battle of New Orleans. Crossing Ber&
wick's Bay at a point called, I think,
Morgan City, and while they were eat
ing b%reakfastin the hotel, Latitte, dis
guised, made himself known to them,
and it was then that Mr., Martin had In
his power and did do. for Laftte what
Latitte had done for him; and it was
then that Lafitte gave him 4 letter to be
delivered to the Governor of the State,
or possibly Gen. jackson. who was :
personal friend OF Mr.. Martin. Mrs.
Martin never knew the contents Of this
letter, but she believed il contained La
ftte's offer, or IN offer to assist Con.
Jacksoni if . pardon was granted him

FOR TIE FARMER.
Fowls will eat a great deal Of granu-
lated charcoal. As q preventive Of dis
easel it is invaluable.
Insowing small seeds offeeble growth
for growing plants cover by sprinkling
earth on them with a seive and then
press it down gently with the back Of Q
hoe or shovel.
The old time yields of 800 o. 400
bushels OF potatoes per acre were most
" grown on clover sod freshly plowed
down. Better not lose sight of SO good
a practice.
Farmers who plowed their oats
ground last Fall now see their fields
covered with grain before their neigh
bors have sown q kernel.
Plant no more corn than you cam at
tend to in the best manner, and plow
no more ground than you can manure
we'll. &
"A good way to teach hens the habit
of %egggg-eating is to throw shells about
where they can get them. The best
way to cure them of the habit is to put
them under a pot lid.
Mr.. T.sB. Terry enumerates among
the advantages of leaving manure to
accumulate on the floor of stables under
horses that the animals have q COM
Portable, soft place to stand on. But a
soft place is just what is bad for hoofs,
and especially so when there is ammonia
in it, ~ r. .>'~@ ,~- - 80 "~ -
Hoe your fruit garden frequently. II
is easier to hoe the ground over once
in ten days than it is to hoe. it over
once in thirty days. The secret Of cul
tivating is to never let q weed get be-
yond the seed leaf. A stroke in time
saves ninety nine.
A little time spent in fling or grind
ing an edge upon the hoe will saw .
good deal more in rapid and efficient
work, not to speak Of making labor
lighter. Is ~ s.& -. ~
The great mistake, says Mr.. Cheever
that most of us make in feeding young
animals is in giving too much at a time
and making the time to long between the
feelings. "a little and often" should
be the rule to observe in feeding calves,
pigs and chickens.
Pick out for breeders the pigs with
long bodies, broad backs and deep hams.
Don't give a cent for fancy in a pig.
A strong, long, broad hog is the one
which pays. Select a breed which has
hair on it. A good coat of hair counts
on a hog as well as any animal. It is
a protection in Summer and in Winter.
Some men can get a their living any
where. If you can set them down or q
bare rock they will thrive there. The
true farmer is to those who come after
him and take the benefit of his improve
ments like the lichen which plants Itself
on the bare rock and grows, and thrives
and cracks it, making mould for garden
vegetables which are to grow in it in
after years.
